English Translation
If your heart allowed you [to abandon me], my own heart would never permit me [to do the same to you].
You have made me forget our nights of mutual affection, and left my heart to suffer.
Did I not tell you, O my fate, that the lifespan of happiness is but a few fleeting seconds?
In a single moment of change, my beloved altered all the meanings of our love.
I cry out in pain all night long, while your nights are filled with joyful songs.
This is too much to bear; my entire life has become nothing but desperate wishes.
O healers who know the medicine, I ask my destiny about you.
What is the cure for a wounded heart? Come tell me, for life is fleeting anyway.
Into the vast sea, I cast my heavy worries, as the endless shedding of tears has utterly exhausted me.
Do not blame my eyes for weeping; my sufficiency is in God against the one who threw me into this abyss.
Explaining:
إن كان قلبك عطاك: “Yes” here means: has obeyed you, or has your heart allowed you to abandon me and leave me. The meaning: “If your heart has yielded to you in separation and estrangement, then my loyal heart refuses and prevents me from treating you the same way.”
عمر السعادة ثواني: A poignant, tragic expression illustrating the brevity of the time of joy and union compared to the long, sleepless nights that followed the separation.
بدل جميع المعاني: In a single moment of rejection, all concepts of love and emotional security were transformed into torment.
أنا طول ليلي أصيح وأنت الليالي أغاني: A very harsh rhetorical contrast highlighting the “emotional disparity”; while the lover spends his nights weeping and moaning, the other lives his life in merriment, comfort, and song.
صارت حياتي أماني: Lived reality has transformed into a series of distant wishes and hopes suspended in the void of absence.
كيف الدواء للجريح هيا ترى العمر فاني: A question imbued with a mystical quality; Finding a cure for the pangs of love is urgent and swift, for life is short and fleeting, and cannot bear all this constant suffering.
في البحر أرمي همومي: a heartwarming metaphor that turns to nature (the sea) as the silent and only friend capable of absorbing the lover’s worries and endless tears without weariness.
حسبي على من رماني: “God is my refuge” means God is my protector and guarantor; it is a silent and polite complaint raised by the lover to heaven against the one who caused his wound and cast him into this abyss.
This song embodies the pinnacle of unequal love’s pain. With his warm voice, Abadi Al-Johar presents a tragic portrait of a lover living in complete emotional isolation; he suffers in silence, pleading with healers for emotional relief before life slips away (“Life is fleeting”). The purity and depth of the Eastern soul are revealed in his recourse to the silent sea, casting his worries and flowing tears into it instead of blaming or seeking revenge on his beloved. It is a spiritual supplication that acknowledges human weakness before the power of passion, relying on beautiful patience even when life becomes nothing more than suspended hopes.

إن كان قلبك عطاك، قلبي أنا ما عطاني
أنسى ليالي المَودة، خليت قلبي يعاني
إن كان قلبك عطاك، قلبي أنا ما عطاني
أنسى ليالي المَودة، خليت قلبي يعاني
ما قلت لك يا زماني عُمر السَعادة ثواني
ما قلت لك يا زماني عُمر السَعادة ثواني
لحظة تغير حبيبي بدل جميع المعاني
إن كان قلبك عطاك، قلبي أنا ما عطاني
أنسى ليالي المَودة، خليت قلبي يعاني
أنا طول ليلي أصيح وأنتِ ألليالي أغاني
أنا طول ليلي أصيح وأنتِ ألليالي أغاني
ما يصير هذا كثير صارت حياتي أماني
إن كان قلبك عطاك، قلبي أنا ما عطاني
أنسى ليالي المَودة، خليت قلبي يعاني
يا عارفين الدواء بسأل عليكم زماني
يا عارفين الدواء بسأل عليكم زماني
كيف الدواء للجريح هيا ترى العُمر فاني
إن كان قلبك عطاك، قلبي أنا ما عطاني
أنسى ليالي المَودة، خليت قلبي يعاني
في البحر أرمي همومي، ذرف المدامع أضناني
في البحر أرمي همومي، ذرف المدامع أضناني
لا، لا، تلوم يا عيوني، حسبي على من رماني
إن كان قلبك عطاك، قلبي أنا ما عطاني
أنسى ليالي المَودة، خليت قلبي يعاني
إن كان قلبك عطاك، قلبي أنا ما عطاني
أنسى ليالي المَودة، خليت قلبي يعاني
